I actually considered that. There are a lot of things teens do with that camera on their cell phone besides making videos of fights for YouTube. They also take inappropriate pictures of themselves for their girlfriend/boyfriend. There was a case where a girl's "friends" took a picture of her in the shower and sent it around school. Cell phones with picture and video capabilities can be too tempting for many teenagers. But I also look at some of the great and hilarious videos on YouTube by teens who are using their phones responsibly and I'm not sure I want to take it away from all teens because a small few can't use it the way it's supposed to be used. My teens have video on their cell phones and they take pictures of their friends and make funny videos with their brothers and sister or of their friends and themselves playing Guitar Hero. It's all very innocent and I don't really want to take that away from them. At this point they are very open with me about their videos. In fact they want me to watch them because they think they are so clever. So for now I'm ok with it for my teens. Oh, great question. I actually considered that.
